Studebakers always seemed to play a role in the original Dinky Toys range. In 1958 this Hawk appeared, initially with painted cast wheels. By the time it was withdrawn in 1963, the wheels were of machined aluminum. A tan and red version was also produced.

@larry-kemling The better to grip carpet or wood floors in the hands of a 1950s child.
